Grim (Shadow Security #1)

I knew she was in trouble the second she looked at me.

Bruised. Terrified. Barely standing. And when she mouthed the word help through the window of that van, there was no walking away. I’ve spent my life in dangerous places. Former Special Forces.

Private security. Violence doesn’t scare me. But the woman I pull from that nightmare? She gets under my skin fast.

Allora Sterling is beautiful, stubborn, and fighting to survive something that should’ve destroyed her. The men who took her hurt her in ways that make my hands shake every time I think about it.

Now someone wants her back. And after the traffickers tear apart her condo looking for her, I take her home with me because it’s the only place I know I can keep her safe. One apartment. One bed.

One broken woman who still finds the strength to smile at me. I should keep my distance. Instead, I become obsessed with making her feel safe again. Feeding her. Holding her through nightmares.

Touching her like she’s something precious instead of something broken. But the deeper we fall, the more dangerous things become. Because the men hunting Allora aren’t random criminals.

This is personal. And when they take her from me a second time, they make one fatal mistake— They leave me alive. Now there’s nowhere on earth I won’t go, nobody I won’t destroy, to bring her home.

Even if I have to burn the whole world down to do it.
